Section 350-060-0090 - Special Review

(1) Where the appellant contends the land use decision eliminates all economic or beneficial use of the property, the appellant must meet the requirements for the Appellant's Brief in Rule 350-060-0080 and the requirements for Special Review as follows:

(a) Set out the pertinent portions of the ordinance that apply;

(b) Describe how the ordinance impacts the use of the property;

(c) Attach copies of any documents (maps, deeds, easements, etc.) that are relevant; and

(d) Explain why the requested use must be allowed to provide economic or beneficial use of the property.

(2) All other parties shall have the opportunity to specifically respond to the appellant's submittal under this section in their briefs and the Executive Director or his or her designee shall also respond.

(3) The Commission, in its "Final Opinion and Order", shall

(a) Address the subject of economic or beneficial use in its findings of fact and conclusions.

(b) Specify the factual and/or legal principles relied on in support of the decision.

(c) Where appropriate, propose options for use for the property owner, or other options available to the appellant consistent with the ordinance.

The economic or beneficial use allowed shall be the use that on balance best protects the affected resources. This section applies:

(A) If the Forest Service or the federal government does not provide just compensation for a Special Management Area designation it made; or

(B) For a General Management Area designation made by the Gorge Commission.
